Some advantages of joining a [[:Category:Religion | religion]] are the ability to become a [[Priest]] so you can cast [[:Category:Spells|spells]], the ability of becoming a [[Champion player|champion]], and having domain bonuses while you are inside your god(dess)'s domain. Each god(dess) also has some specific advantages, see their wiki page for details.
To become a [[follower]], you must have at least 1.5 [[body]], and 1 [[Alignment]]. You can then find a follower of that god(dess) and ask them to [[convert]] you. You can also go to the [[Altar of Three]] to join the white light gods, or the [[Bone Altar]] if you want the black light goddess [[Libila]]. These two altars are only on the wild server.
Note that if you join [[Libila]], you automatically join [[Horde of the Summoned]], and all of the [[White Light]] kingdoms will become your enemies.
